araneus diadematus

as i approached my side gate after a day of playing,
i noticed what felt like a branch brush my face. of
course, it wasn't a branch, because it stayed on my face
as i stepped back. i thought to myself, "web? can't be..."
then, a thick strand floated across my field of vision.
at that moment, i slowly ducked to an angle which i
could see what was in front of me more clearly. a dot.
a dot with legs. eight cringe-inducing legs. at least,
for someone who is afraid of spiders. instead of jumping
or screaming, i politely excused myself from its home.
"oh, hello there. i hope you don't mind me passing through.
sorry for destroying half of your home with my face."
usually, out of habit, i put my hand in front of my head
whenever i walk in places that are dark and or are likely
to have webs. however, today, i let my guard down.
you know what that means. it's about time for ninja training.
